BASE BALL.
CONSOLIDATION SCHEME.

The plan of consolidation in the New Eng
land league seems likely to fall through by
the disagreement of Managers Burnham and
Fessenden. The scheme proposed was tina,
since the Lawrences have been drawing poor
with fairly good team and Haverhill is
drawing well with poor team, to consolidate
the two. This was all arranged providing
that two other teams in the league would dc
the same to make an even number of teams
1t was proposed that the Boston Blues go to
Salem, but Manager Burnham Of the Blues
says that if he takes a good team to Salem he
must be manager and own the Franchise
On the other hand Manager Fessenden say:
that if he furnishes the audiences he mus
have the management, so it seems likely the
clubs will remain as they are until the enc
of the season.

Give Them n Chance!

That is to say, your lungs. Also all your
breathing machinery. Very wonderful ma
ehinerv IT is. Not only the larger air passages
but the thousands of little tubes and cavities
leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked with
matter which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work. And what
they do they cannot do well.
Gall 1t cold, cough, Group, pneumonia, Ca
tarrh, consumption or any of the family nf
throat and nose and head and lung obstruc-
tions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid
of. There is just one sure way to get rio of
them. That is to take Boschee's German

40 cents a bottle. Even if everything else
has failed you, you may depend upon this for
certain. lOct2d&W lXchMky

FIDELITY BANK CASE.
Forged Certificates of Deposit to the EX-
tent OF 100000.

New YORK, June "a.
A special from Cincinnati TO the Sun says
astounding developments were made in tine
Fidelity Bank case, Thursday. On excel
lent authority it is said that 500, 900 have
been raised from New York banks of forged
certificates of deposit. Affairs of Fidelity
Bank are becoming more complicated every
hour. Even an expert accountant who for
years has handled all big cases of figured
entanglement in this city is perplexed. Har-
per although not yet forty years of age has
made and lost three fortunes, but only in the
present instance did he go into the criminal
extreme of using other peoples money. He
exhibits no concern about the disaster. The
temper of the people toward the principals
in his crime grow more bitter every hour.
Not word of sympathy is heard for the ac-
cused men.

Care Of the Finger Nails.

Since the science of reading character
by handwriting has como in it is said that
the care taken of the finger nails affects
the handwriting. The long, almond
shaped nail is great support to the mid
die finger, which guides the pen. 1t is
said that people with imagination are apt
to have long, taper fingers and beautiful
finger nails They have handwriting in
which the long up strokes and down
strokes cut into the lines above and be-
meath them. The heads OF their capital
letters are large. This handwriting shows
order and impulse. When 1t has q marked
downward movement this handwriting
shows tendency to melancholy.
An aptitude for criticism is shown
among people who bite their nails. These
people are cynical and severe, unchari-
table and bitter; they write small,
cramped, illegible hand. The good
natured critics are said to possess small,
well shaped nails, and their handwriting
is somewhat angular. Diplomacy has a
long, supple hand and beautifully kept
finger nail The handwriting of diplo-
matist looks like snake crawling away.

A few days ago Colonel Bob Ingersoll

the Colonel's well-known chirography;
Il send you some of the most wonder
full whiskey that ever drove skeleton
from feast of painted landscapes in the
brain of man. 1t is the mingled souls of
wheat and corn. In it you will find the
sunshine and the shadow that chased
each other over the billowy fields, the
breath of June, the carol of the lark, the
dews of night, the wealth of summer and
autumn's rich content, all golden with
Imprisoned light Drink it. and you will
hear the voice of men and maidens singing
the Harvest Home,'' mingled with the
laughter of children. Drink it and you
will feel within your blood the star led
dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks of many
perfect days. For forty years this liquid
joy has been within the happy slaves of
oak, longing to touch the lips of man."

oliver Cromwell's Heavy Heel.
Washington Post.

The cause of Irish discomfort lies in
the fact that Englishmen own any Of the
soil of the Emerald Isle. When Crom-
well came over and subdued the rebellion,
more than two centuries ago, he applied
the iron rod of conquest; he confiscated
thousands of square miles and divided
it among his favorites This fact it is
that makes the heel of the English land
lord heavy and oppressive. The hatred
of the "alien landlord ates back to
1860, when the alien landlords came and
the native owners were impoverished.

Blackmailers OF The metropolis.

Those who have been blacImailed do
not publicly complain, and thus women Of
that class prey on society almost with inn
punity A Clergyman uptown paid black
mail for long time before he invoked the
aid of his friends. A merchant paid
blackmail once when woman thrust her
self into his private office and threatened
to scream if he did not. He never paid
again, for he gave strict orders not to
admit the woman. Many merchants and
bankers refuse to see woman until she
has stated her business in full to q clerk.
This rule protects many millionaires from
the wiles of these sharks. In smaller
offices such a rule is not SO practicable
Brokers have often been victimized
These women do not attempt to extort
money at once. They act modestly at
first and merely endeavor to sell the book
or picture, but after few visits have been
made they try to wheedle money out of
the broker for alleged family necessities,
or they threaten to put themselves in
compromising positions and scream if
money is not given to them. They
threaten to go to wives and sweethearts,
and marriages, it is well known, have been
broken off where the blaekmailer has bor-
rowed a child and thus presented SEEM
ingly indisputable evidence against her
victim. Innocent men pay blackmail the
most readily. The man of loose morals
often proves a hopeless case to the would
be blaclmailer. He laughs her to scorn
and threatens to kick her out of his Office
IL she does not leave at once. She leaves.
